Ayten Turanli: Resonance

7 Jan-21 Jan 2025

Ayten Turanli, Rhythm

Overview

This show brings together works from three distinct series: Dissimilar, Rhythm, and Cobblestones, offering an intimate look into her exploration of materiality, form, and texture, and clay as a medium of connection.

Ayten Turanli is celebrated for transforming clay into intricate and evocative sculptures that bridge tradition and contemporary aesthetics. Her works resonate with themes of rhythm, movement, drawing viewers into a dialogue between the tactile and the visual. Each piece reflects her craftsmanship and intuitive engagement with her materials, creating a harmonious interplay between form and meaning.

“Resonance represents the harmony and friction within Ayten’s work,” says the Director of Pi Artworks. “Each piece connects with the viewer in a unique way, inviting a dialogue between artist, object, and observer.”

This exhibition marks Ayten Turanli’s second solo presentation in London, further establishing her as a distinctive voice in contemporary ceramics. Ayten Turanlı is a Turkish artist born in 1951 in Turkey living and working between Istanbul and London,  known for her abstract ceramic sculptures that explore themes of cities, communities, and human connections. Notable exhibitions include the 6th International Biennale for Ceramics in Cairo (2002), "Art Colony" at Gallery Helena in Halkidiki, Greece (2008), her solo presentation at Collect, Somerset House London (2020), her solo exhibition "Cobblestones" at Pi Artworks Istanbul (2010), and the presentation of the "Dissimilar Series" at Pi Artworks in London (2023).
